Ended up getting a Schumacher 10030a - more of a charger/maintainer than just a charger.

i didnt see anywhere where it said safe for AGM batteries.. agm chargers are different than a standard flooded battery charger..

itll fuck up a agm style battery real fast..

The one I decided on has an AGM setting on it :good:

But thanks for the concern. It'd be a shame to mess up some brand new batteries lol.

ive seen it done twice... local guy got 6 brand new deka 9a31s and tried using a standard charger.. fucked all his batteries up.... just make sure it dont charge your batteries at too high of a voltage...that can be bad also..

actually i got a ULTRA cheap charger/maintainer i got at harbor freight for 10 bux.. its for agm style batteries too never charges above 14v and it takes about 4 hrs to charge up a single 100ah battery.... something i picked up bc it caught my eye and worked out very well

It tends to switch back and forth between 14.5v at 12 amps and 15v at 27 amps, then goes into float at 13.5v. Does that mean it's junk?
